My one and only date with Howard

My friend Betsy, set me up with a date with a guy by the name of Howard. I was really impressed with him, he was good looking, sharp dresser and worked at the post office. We went to Applebees for dinner, while we were waiting for our meals I saw a couple leave. I noticed the lady had left some of her spare ribs and most of her baked potato was not eaten.

I told Howard, what a waste, that food will end up in the garbage. Howard agreed. I didn't want all that good food to end up in the garbage so I went over to the couple's table and ate the spare ribs and baked potato.

I then saw Howard talking to the waiter. He then came over to me and told me he had cancelled our order. He then told me he wanted to leave the restaurant immediately.

He took me home and I have seen or heard of him since. I am so disappointed, I wanted to show him off to my girlfriends. I know they would be green with envy.

On the way home, I told Howard that I thought he would be impressed with me not letting all that good go to waste by me eating it. He told me he was more depressed than impressed.

How can I get Howard back? Why did he get so angry about eating the food? Do you think I should go to the post office where he works and try to persuade him to reconsider taking me back?

Don't worry hon, you will definitely get three squares a day in the looney bin and perhaps Howard will bring dessert although I wouldn't hold my breath on that.

Is this a joke?? Never heard of such a thing in my life. No wonder he bailed. I must say you can't get Howard back and don't go to his post office. Just never do this again if you want the date to last any amount of time.

This is a comedy bit, right?

No one would ever really do such a thing.

If someone didn't want the food to go to waste, ask the wait staff to bag it up , so you can take it home for your pet dog.
